"She's a grown woman now, and still so shy." Jiang Yao said with a smile.

Tian Guihua took a deep breath, "Although he lives next door and Tang Qi is someone we've watched grow up since childhood, his character is impeccable. Whoever bullies Jiujiao, he won't let it slide. But my heart just can't bear it, your father is even more reluctant than I am."

Jiang Yao could understand this feeling, but she couldn't empathize with it. After all, she didn't have a daughter either.

"Mother, Chi-Chi is a good child and understands that you and Father don't want me to get married right away, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Well, she's still young, only fifteen. Where could I possibly bear to part with her?" said Tian Guihua.

Many poor families cannot afford to keep their daughters at home, so they marry them off early in order to receive a dowry that can be used to buy a wife for their sons.

It's not that we can't afford to keep them, it's just that if it weren't for Tang Qi, they wouldn't have been able to stay for a few more years.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued to chat, and with Jiang Yao there, Tian Guihua didn't feel bored.

Fu Jiujiu went to the Zou's house. All the men in the Zou family were busy with their own affairs, and Ginger Shuangyue didn't go to medical school because she had an appointment with Fu Jiujiu. However, with Bai Ruozhang there, she felt relieved.

Fujujiao was quite puzzled. With so many medical students at the Medical College, why had they chosen her to diagnose Hang Xueyin? She didn't ask, though, afraid it would make her seem reluctant.

Hang Xueyin was much more friendly towards Fu Jiujiu than she had been before she got married. Perhaps it was because she was embarrassed back then, but now that they were sisters-in-law, she didn't worry about what people might say.

"Coo coo, how is your Xueyin sister-in-law?"

Fu Jiu Jiu nodded, "Okay then, it's nothing major, just need to move around more."

"But I feel weak and sweaty all the time."

Ginger Double Moon added, "Her face was still deathly pale, quite frightening."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "It's okay, some people just do that during pregnancy."

This is hypoglycemia, it's nothing serious. "Sister Xueyin told the servants to bring some sweets. If you have this symptom again, just eat some and it will ease up."

"Three meals a day are a must, and if you get hungry quickly, you can add another meal. Eating smaller portions more frequently is also possible," Fujujiao said.

Hang Xueyin nodded slightly. She naturally believed Fu Jiujiu, but as a first-time mother, she was still very nervous, "Sister, will the child be alright?"

"No way." Fu Chi-Chiu said.

Hang Xueyin patted her chest, "My sister said she's fine, so I feel relieved."

Ginger Shuangyue also smiled, "Your Snowyin sister-in-law said that your medical skills are high. Others can't see as well as you do, she doesn't trust others."

"It's really too much trouble for my little sister, I feel so guilty." Hangu Xueyin said unwillingly.

Fu Jiu Jiu thought it was no big deal, after all, she wasn't an outsider. She could help out a bit if she had the time, "Sister-in-law, you're too polite. We're family. I'm free anyway."

"Fu Jiujiu was thinking that there were still three sisters-in-law at home. It wasn't good for her to be out for too long, “If there's nothing important, I'll come another day. If any of my sisters-in-law are feeling unwell, please don't be polite and just send someone to call me over.”

Seeing Fu Jiujiao about to leave, Hang Xueyin turned to look at Jiang Shuangyue.

Fujujiao took one look and knew something was up. "Mother, if there's something, just say it. Don't you treat me like your own?"

Jiang Shuangyue was a little embarrassed by Fu Jiujiu's words, "You brat, your godmother has always treated you like her own. Alright, let me just say it, someone has taken a liking to your brother and contacted your Xueyin sister-in-law through connections."

"My brother? All my brothers are taken." Fu Jiaojiao said with a wry smile.

Knowing that my brothers are excellent, I didn't expect so many girls with good vision.

"Has your parrot found a master?" Hang Xueyin asked.

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Yes, she's the girl who grew up with us since we were young. Godmother should have met her, Xiuxiu, Zhong Lingxiu."

"Oh, the heir of Lord Zhong," Jiang Shuangyue had an impression.

Hang Xueyin sighed, "It seems I'm a step late. Then... what about your nephew?"

Fu Jiujiu widened her eyes, "This girl insists on marrying into our Fu family?"

"No, it's not one person." Hang Xueyin blushed slightly. "It's two people who asked me to ask you."

No wonder, Fu Jiujiu said so herself, one person taking a liking to two men from the Fu family, this is interesting indeed.

"Tian Fu... also has a master now."

“That’s not right, when did Tianfu become taken?” Jiang Shuangyue asked in surprise. “My aunt doesn’t mean anything else, just curious.”

Fu Jiujiu giggled and said that when it came to her nephew's marriage, she also felt like it was all a joke. But now the two of them are really good together.

"Mother, I won't hide it from you. She's a girl from the Miao family. Our whole family likes her very much. This is settled, we just haven't had the betrothal ceremony yet. My second brother and sister-in-law are already on their way to the capital city, just to arrange the marriage for the two children."

"So fast!" Jiang Shuangyue said.

"Yeah, if you like a girl, you should marry her quickly, otherwise what if someone else takes her?"

Ginger Shuangyue sighed with a smile, "Xueyin ah, tell those two sisters when you get back, we really can't help with this. They already have someone."

Hang Xueyin also smiled and said congratulations, someone has a master now, what else is there to say?

This shouldn't affect the relationship between the Zou family and the Fu family.

Fu Jiujiu looked at Hang Xinyue, hesitating whether to say something.

Hang Xueyin was smart, “Sister, if you have something to say, just say it straight. Don’t treat us as outsiders.”

Fu Jiujiao nodded. "Sister-in-law, then I'll say it, whether it's right or wrong, you can weigh it yourself."

"I think it's a bit too coincidental that your two friends have set their sights on Fu Jia. Tang Qi gege just got named crown prince, and now this match has come up..."

Hang Xueyin didn't get angry. "Sister, I understand what you said. I know who is close and who is distant. But since they came to me, I'll help them ask. Now that the Eight Golden Brothers and Tianfu have found their chosen girls, I will tell them to give up their hopes. With your reminder, I will also know how to get along with them in the future."

Fujujio seeing her so perceptive, didn't say much more. He presumed she understood in her heart what those people were coming for.

Neither Babo nor Tianfu held any official positions, so many people looked down on them before.

There are still many young women eager to get married these days, which shows what everyone is thinking.

How can you like everything all at once?

Ginger Shuangyue also seized the opportunity to say a few words, "Don't even mention Xueyin's place, even my foster father and I have been causing a stir recently. But don't worry, Jiujiu, my foster father and I won't cause you any trouble."

Fu Jiu Jiu laughed, "Mommy is the best!"

Ginger Shuangyue wasn't stupid either. Back then, when Fu Chiuchiu knew Tang Xian was a prince, she didn't let them take sides, afraid that something might happen and implicate them.

How could they possibly trouble two children now?

Three more, see you tomorrow!
